There is no way to do what you want and save money.I just reread the whole thread and I must admit I missed (well not rly understood) what @2strokeforever suggested.
If I understand this correctly you would make the junction in charging batteries, 2 MPPTs that talk to each other, one of them primary charger (solar), the other one secondary (grid). Then inverter from batteries to AC that powers the load. Only source here would be inverter, but batteries would have 2 sources, not the ATS. That is interesting idea. Only downside is that going always via batteries means relatively significant loss on {AC->Battery->Inverter->Load} double conversion. That woud prolong ROI, it is optimized for availability (I have separate UPS for that) and not cost saving.
Fresh approach nonetheless.
If you were grid tied and got credits you could save money, but thats the only way.
